Prince Edward Island Lobster

150+ Years of Tradition

Prince Edward Island fishers have been hauling in world-class lobster for over 150 years, continuing a tradition passed down through generations. Today, 1,200+ fishers operate out of 45 ports, ensuring PEI lobster reaches tables worldwide.

The Season & Setting Day

Twice a year, Setting Day marks the start of lobster season — a time-honored tradition where boats set out at sunrise, traps in tow, as communities gather to cheer them on.

Beyond the Catch

PEI fishers do more than harvest lobster—they’re stewards of the sea. Beyond the season, they repair gear, maintain boats, and actively protect the fishery through conservation efforts, research, and advocacy.

The lobster fishery is truly at the heart of rural PEI, where life ebbs and flows with the lobster season.
